9.7. ITK Binary Contour Image Filter

Labels the pixels on the border of the objects in a binary image.

Group (Subgroup)

ITKImageLabel (ImageLabel)

Description

BinaryContourImageFilter takes a binary image as input, where the pixels in the objects are the pixels with a value equal to ForegroundValue. Only the pixels on the contours of the objects are kept. The pixels not on the border are changed to BackgroundValue.

The connectivity can be changed to minimum or maximum connectivity with SetFullyConnected() . Full connectivity produces thicker contours.
